By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

As a quick (& sorry, blunt) guide;
. People with dementia mostly cannot live alone safely
. Dementia can alter vision processing
. Dementia can rob someone of reading ability &/or comprehension
. Dementia causes falls
. Dementia is a life-limiting condition.
. It is progressive ie it will keep getting worse.
Writing notes will be useless. Supervision & assistance by a caregiver is required to reduce falls.
(Note: Reduce. Not prevent).
People with dementia fall...a lot, lose their ability to read and comprehend not only the written word but spoken word as well, and should NOT be living by themselves.
You say in one of your responses below that you are looking for a "temporary solution" for your grandpa, but you need to be looking into a permanent solution instead. Somewhere where he will receive the 24/7 care he now requires.
And that just may mean placing him in a memory care facility as he will only continue to get worse, and it will be too much for your parents and yourself to deal with.
So I wish you and your family the very best in finding the right facility to place grandpa in, where you all can get back to just being his loving family and advocates, and not his burned out caregivers.
I would call APS to get a case opened. It is sounding like grandfather needs placement.
There are simple blanket fasteners for beds, but that's really not the issue here anymore. Granddad isn't safe alone at home.
they’re like clips attached to elastic and say can clip bottom of sheet under the mattress so that at least the bottom of the blanket remains
he can then pull off the bjs let and if would be fastened at the bottom so will remain on The bed still
Google and you will see what I mean it will be self explanatory once u see a picture
I use them on my fathers bed
to keep his flat sheet on the bed so it can be used fir the blanket as well
at the bottom of bed area to allow movement still to get in and out if the bed
google them as my explanation may not be too clear
good luck
also maybe a three leg walking stick for him to steady himself as he gets up ? I leave one of those by my fathers bed and he uses it to steady himself
it works well
